    • Work with Python libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib to handle data and visualization tasks.
  2. Django Framework
    • Get hands-on experience with Django, a high-level Python web framework that enables rapid development of secure, scalable, and maintainable web applications.
    • Learn how to build powerful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) applications using Django’s built-in tools.
    • Topics include: Django Models, Templates, Views, URL routing, Forms, Authentication, Session Management, and Database Integration using SQLite or PostgreSQL.
    • Implement MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture and best practices for web development with Django.
  3. Web Scraping with Python
    • Learn how to extract useful information from websites using web scraping techniques and libraries like BeautifulSoup and Selenium.
    • Understand how to automate data collection, clean data, and store it in structured formats (such as CSV or JSON) for further analysis.
    • Topics include: HTML Parsing, CSS Selectors, XPath, and Web Scraping Ethics (respecting website terms and conditions).
  4. REST APIs (Representational State Transfer)
    • Master the art of building RESTful APIs using Django Rest Framework (DRF).
    • Learn to design and develop APIs that enable communication between different software systems (backend and frontend, mobile apps, etc.).
    • Topics include: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods, JSON responses, JWT Authentication, API versioning, and Testing REST APIs using Postman or Swagger.
    • Implement robust and secure APIs to handle data requests, authentication, and authorization.
  5. Frontend Development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
    • Understand the basics of frontend development, including how to create beautiful, responsive web pages with HTML and CSS.
    • Learn how to make your web applications interactive with JavaScript and jQuery.
    • Topics covered: HTML5, CSS3, Responsive Web Design, Flexbox, CSS Grid, and JavaScript Fundamentals.
    • Understand how to integrate frontend technologies with Django to build full-stack applications that interact seamlessly with the backend.
  6. Database Management with SQL
    • Learn how to manage databases and perform CRUD operations with SQL.
    • Understand how Django ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) connects Python objects to database tables and eliminates the need for writing raw SQL queries.
    • Topics include: Database Design, SQL Queries, Joins, Normalization, Indexes, and Transactions.
    • Work with relational databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL.
  7. Version Control with Git
    • Get familiar with Git, a version control system used to track changes in your codebase and collaborate with other developers.
    • Learn to use GitHub for repository management, branching, merging, and version control workflows.
    • Topics include: Commit History, Pull Requests, Merge Conflicts, Git Branching, and Collaborative Workflows.
  8. Deployment and Hosting
    • Learn how to deploy Django applications to popular hosting platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean.
    • Set up production-ready environments, configure servers, and ensure your application runs efficiently on the cloud.
    • Topics include: Django Deployment, Docker for containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and Server Management with Nginx or Apache.
  9. Testing and Debugging
    • Learn the importance of unit testing and debugging in Python and Django applications.
    • Use tools like pytest and Django’s Test Framework to write automated tests and ensure your application is reliable.
    • Topics include: Test-Driven Development (TDD), Debugging Techniques, Test Coverage, and Mocking.
  10. Project Development & Hands-on Practice
    • Build your own real-world Python-based web application using Django and integrate all the technologies you’ve learned.
    • Work on team projects, learn agile development practices, and receive feedback from industry professionals.
    • By the end of the course, you will have a fully functional project to showcase your skills and enhance your portfolio.
